Craig's Picnic and a few others

Check out the two most recent posts!

I wanted to start off with some pictures of Linc's towels that Tori made him. She has been looking for some pictures of the towels to post on her website. Linc is just so busy it is hard to get him to be still for a picture. That is why most of the ones we take he is not looking or he appears to be running at the camera. We did end up getting some good ones, so I wanted to post those so you can really see how cute they are. She is currently making me two more for different friends, she is just so good!










Last Saturday was Craig's work picnic for Lockheed. It was on one of the hottest weekends we have had so far. I think it got up to 102 that afternoon. I want to back up to tell you what a crazy day it had already been before we arrived here.

My day started with Niki and I running 2 miles outside at 7:40 and then heading into the pool to swim laps. We then did some weights and then I headed home to get showered. Next I was off to a bridal shower until 1. Then I came home and made another batch of brownies for the picnic. After, I had to put Linc down for a nap. I finally got to sit down for a bit before it was time to pack up for the picnic and head on out there because the picnic started at 4pm. Needless to say, I was already really tired from all the previous activities, but I was super excited to go to the picnic. I really just love picnics and being outdoors in general.
When we got there they had already started cooking hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken. It all smelled so good. Plus there were tons of sides and all kinds of good treats for dessert, including my two batches of cookies and brownies. It was also really nice to meet some of Craig's co-workers and their families. Craig's cube mate Lindsay planned the whole thing and did a great job, I think everyone enjoyed themselves. She is getting married soon, so I bet planning is becoming second nature to her.

Ollie and Emily with baby girl on the way.

You like my hat?

Ollie wanting the water his mama has, such a sweet face.

He looks just like a mini Tony, he is just so cute.

Linc was just having a blast walking around and being free. He was just wondering off everywhere finding new things to do.

Everyone there kept telling me to take a picture of this manager, Randy. They said this was the most manual work he has ever done, haha.

This is Craig's main manager, Daron, doing all the wonderful cooking!

Some of the people from Craig's work.

Linc stuffing watermelon in his mouth. We had some in our cooler, and he like new where it was, took off the lid and started chomping down. He even got Ollie in on the action, although I am not sure he liked it. When he was done, he even closed the lid.

Here is Dean, another manager, holding Lincoln. They seemed to be fast friends.


I had to take this picture because this is Tony's future. He will be having a little girl in October and these girls had him wrapped around their fingers in no time. Man is he in trouble, haha!

Throwing a cup, what fun. See it in the air?

Here is Josh, another cube mate of Craig's.

Linc in his glasses, he liked them for about 5 seconds.

At the end of the picnic, we were all tired. Linc even had to sit down to enjoy some water.

We all showered once at home and then put Linc to bed. I think Craig and I watched a movie and then hit the sack early, what a day!
Here are the few others. I had some stragglers from Friday's swim addition in the swim thing.
Here is Linc ready to go out.

It just makes for some great pictures.


If you made it through this post, good for you! Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
